F-Droid has the same potential tampering issue: apps there are signed by the F-Droid key, not the developer’s key. An F-Droid compromise could backdoor every app.
Any history of this? For anyone: Why don't they cross-sign with their key+dev key?
I've been using this specifically for its extension support, and I'm just waiting until Firefox Preview can get extension support fully as I use Firefox on the desktop and I'd like for them to sync. I looked at other browsers like Brave but I just cannot trust them.

If you find (or build) anything like that, I'm sure HN would love it. Personally, I'm concerned about my favorite reference manager, Qiqqa, which was open sourced when retired by the company that made it. As far as I can tell, there is 1 (maybe 2) coders maintaining and improving the software and maybe a few people catching and reporting bugs.
